Toxic Hot Seat

Duration :

92

Summary: Chemical flame retardants are everywhere: on our furniture, our homes, even our bodies. Yet, they don't seem to stop fires...but they do make us sick. This film unveils an intricate story of manipulation that reveals how three chemical companies spent millions on lobbyists, publicists and others--and how Big Tobacco had a hand in convincing fire-safety officials to back this standard. Also followed are a courageous group of citizens who are leading the fight to expose the shadowy campaign of deception that has left a toxic legacy in America's homes and bodies for nearly 40 years.
